Yeah, there is no standard.

I don't like this repo and I've been recommending people avoid it for years.

If you need examples, checkout the golang source code or kubernetes repo.

Unless you have a better reference that you can provide in place of this one, I don't think you're doing anyone any good. People use these documents for guidance, and no guidance at all is clearly not a better alternative to a concrete example whose worst traits is not fitting someone's vague, subjective opinion.

I gave two examples in my initial comment. I can provide more, if you want.

Isn't the Google Go style guide also supposed to be pretty decent.
